Chapter 49: You had no choice and got shown off again
Which one of the three saintesses of the Demon Palace did you meet?
On the slate, a few lines of text appeared. Li Su looked at the Sect Leader as they both returned to the underground chamber. Li Su activated the stone slab using his own blood, stopping the Sect Leader from using hers. He believed a man bleeding a little was no issue.
The Sect Leader planned to pose as a monk named Bai, claiming that he encountered one of the saintesses from the Heavenly Demon Palace during the search for the blood venerable. The saint discovered the holy decree and sent people to hunt him down, resulting in a narrow escape.
I dont know her. She was dressed in black, Li Su replied, making up the answer.
In truth, the demon cultivator didnt cooperate like the Bai clan cultivator and revealed only some information after being provoked using various methods by the people from the Flying Immortal Sect. He remained tight-lipped about other matters.
The Sect Leader knew the reason behind the silence. The demon cultivators had no inhibitions and wouldnt hesitate to kill even their own if necessary. To control them, some major demon sects implanted certain measures in the souls of their disciples.
The demon cultivator was particularly arrogant, suggesting that once the saintess from the Heavenly Demon Palace arrived, the Flying Immortal Sect would be doomed. The Sect Leader didnt know much about the Heavenly Demon Palace, prompting this journey.
The Sect Leader nodded upon seeing the words written by Li Su on the slate.
Li Su withdrew his spiritual power, and the text on the slate faded away.
After wearing black clothes? Does he have a moon mark on his forehead when casting spells? More words appeared on the slate after a while.
Li Su responded with a simple Yes.
Hmph, young kid, you think you can deceive me? Youre still too inexperienced. The next line on the slate caused the Sect Leaders expression to change.
He saw through!
The Sect Leader said that the opponent had seen through their use of the stone slab, realizing that the one using it wasnt the monk named Bai.
Li Su still didnt answer. Instead, he stored the stone slab in a storage bag and flew a mile away with the Flying Immortal Sword.
This stone tablet had lost its connection.
Sect Leader, lets wait for a few days, Li Su suggested.
He wasnt in a hurry. Instead, he wanted to make the other party anxious, letting them know that his fate rested in Li Sus hands. Waiting here for a few days would also allow Li Su to continue studying the killing array.
Alright, the Sect Leader replied, settling herself on a white cushion.
Li Su, I havent taught you much all these years. If you have any doubts about your cultivation in these few days, feel free to ask me, she offered.
Taking this chance, Li Su immediately asked some questions, not about cultivation but related to certain techniques. While the system rewarded him with cultivation, he also learned some techniques on his own due to his good comprehension and determination.
However, advanced techniques often came with doubts and questions. So, Li Su spent a day asking and the Sect Leader patiently explaining.
Thank you, Sect Leader, Li Su expressed his gratitude.
Li Su, improving your cultivation is fundamental. Do you have any doubts about cultivation? the Sect Leader inquired.
Dont worry about my cultivation, Sect Leader. Let me tell you a secret, Li Su said, leaning closer in a mysterious manner.
The Sect Leader emitted a faint and alluring fragrance, a true deodorant that could only be smelled when one got close enough. It was the first time Li Su had experienced such a scent.
Turning her head, the Sect Leader looked at Li Su with her bright eyes.
Li Su then released his aura, revealing his progress. Sect Leader, as you can see, I have already reached the third level of the Golden Core stage.
